faces
Faces and figures - thats my passion. They have always figured in my work, alongside the teabag obsession. So I have decided to work on faces and create a kind of face directory. A dictionary of faces in all kinds of techniques and materials. I would like to think that I could create one a day but sometimes commitment like that is not ideal as it can be overlooked easily and that in itself creates failure................... and I don't want to fail with this.
Does my hair really look like that? I dont think so ;-) But I do think they portray a thinking mode and that is something I do do .....................a lot.

just sometimes..............
Christmas is not that far away - really only just around the corner! I promised the church sewing circle ladies that I would embroider a cloth for their sales table - (note to self - learn to say ''no'' :0))
Trouble is - my idea of embroidery and the stuff I do is a long long way from the ladies fantastic, traditional, oh-so-neat embroidery.
The gauntlet is down - and the challenge has to be met!
I am trained in embroidery - traditional and otherwise - but it sometimes has to be proved.
So here is my little angel cloth - at least the start of it................... finely worked in French Knots and stranded thread................... and it tooks hours to do this much.
I might just do another in teabags and old puree tubes :0) Just to prove my point that is :0)

and the next to arrive
I am still working on my figures for the ''Kitchen'' exhibition - and here is the new one to be submitted 
all recycled stuff - whether it be packing materials, or antique equipment discovered in the local rummage shop ........................ the tall wooden post thingy is an old potato masher - and the board the figure stands on is part of an old mangel system ................... the clothes are ...............well , now wouldnt that be telling :0)
but I will disclose that the amazing hair is an old horse hair brush ...................I love recycling - such wonderful stuff.
